CR-V 2007 to 2011

Good Morning Folks. I'm getting a clicking noise occasionally about 3 secs after I pull away on my auto CRV. My garage can't replicate the issue but say there is some play in one of the front drive shafts. They are saying that none of the motor factors they use carry them and it would have to be direct from Honda £725.00. They did find somewhere that recon them but they are dubious that they can get the parts to recon it if they send it to them. As the click is only minor at the moment and they cannot confirm that it is that I'm going to wait till it gets worse to confirm it is that and not a wheel bearing maybe. My baby has just hit the 129000 mark so gu…

Hi Wondering if anybody else has had this problem as it does not seem that uncommon. We first noticed a pulsing in the steering when going slowly around roundabouts for example and have had it checked out. When driving normally its fine - no pulsing or vibration and vehicle responds properly, but when stationary up on the ramp, the steering can be seen to pulsing back and forth slightly. Fluid has been changed, alignment and pump checked out, but still doing it. There is a lot of online comment on this phenomena, but I can find no comment on the fix. The next step is to change the rack but I am loathe to do this as there quite a few stories about this not sorting the…

Hi, The front nearside parking sensor on my 2011 CRV went wrong - dashboard displayed Check System and indicated which sensor was faulty. I replaced the sensor - the problem changed but did not go away. Now I do not get any faulty sensor indications - but as soon as I drop below 5mph - even if nothing within 100 metres of the car - the dashboard indicates that there is an obstacle close by - in other words the sensor reacts. Is there a way of rebooting the system, or maybe the sensor control module is faulty? I have seen these for sale but cannot find where they are located on the car - no mention in any manual I can find. Any suggestions would be appreciated Ma…

By chance I lifted the boot floor cover over the spare wheel to find at least 50mm of water filling the well! It must have been there for a while as some steel parts had started to rust. Any idea how it could get there? None of the rest of the boot is wet or stained.

Hello there. The Auto Idle with a line through it and battery light has started to show on the dashboard in orange. When I turn off the Auto Idle the lights go away but I was wondering if this means I need a new battery? i went for a 20 mile motorway journey with everything off thinking it might boost the battery but no change. My CR-V is 7 years old so would the battery be due a change? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2013 CRV, occasional the warning light for the stop start illuminates on start up, goes off again shortly after driving off, I’ve also noticed the stop start will operate with the clutch peddle lifted to 3/4 of the way, if foot is taken off the clutch peddle the engine restarts whilst still in neutral. Since this has started cruise control also is playing up. Sometimes it operates others it doesn't. Could they be linked Regards Martin

Hi, i want to do engine, gearbox, diff oils, on my 2.2 diesel 2008 crv. Should i buy" honda" oils !!! Thanks Phil

Hi everyone, New to the forum but wanted to get some ideas: I have a 2012 CRV 2.2 Diesel manual with 60k miles. On a recent service (at a Honda dealer) they advised that it needs a new clutch. This seems a bit odd to me as the reason given was that the clutch bite was high. It does not have any symptom of the clutch failing such as power loss or difficulty engaging gears. The only thing which could indicate a problem is a very slight, intermittent judder changing between 1st and 2nd gear but this was not mentioned. The other issue is that the middle display (centre top of the dashboard) for range and MPG is blank. The display itself wor…

Hi My 2012 crv es model has blown fuse 10 (7.5 amp) 3 times, usually happens when turning right lose all dash info and indicators, if engine switched off it will not restart until fuse replaced. Honda specialists couldnt find cause, and i am losing confidence in this vehicle. Help please Alex

I have a 2013 CR-V with am/fm cd audio and would like to add DAB. I have a genuine Honda CR-V audio Model 39100-T1G-G311-M1 which has FM/DAB but when I swapped it with the original unit the DAB does not work. Do I need an adaptor or some other additional part?

Hello. I have seen a previous post regarding a leaky boot and the spare tyre well filling up. Before I start tearing the rear apart, has anyone actually found the ingress point yet? Seems to be quite common but no online solution as yet. Thanks all.

I'm looking at purchasing a CR-V 2.2 diesel but confused with the car tax. How come some cars tax costs are only £165 per year and others of the same model £205 per year? The cheaper car to tax is also better on economy, I can't see any info on the matter and seeing as though they are the exact same engine and same year I'm at a loss. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, I would like to upgrade the awful ‘meep, meep’ horn on my 2016 crv, and wondered if anyone else has done the same, and if so, where to get any wiring adapters from?

I have just bought a second hand 2016 1.6 automatic AWD. When cold the gears from 1st to 2nd is slow to change and even throws me forward because I’m expecting the car to change. However when warmed up, it changes ok. I have searched and found that some advice is to change the transmission fluid? I took it to my local dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, but did advise to change the oil in the transmission. plus how much would this cost? £330 from one garage and £90 from another. They did however update a couple of software updates and charged me £85 for looking at my car and the updates. Is that to be expected from updating the software? …

Hi guys - I am new here.. any ideas where this plug goes - perhaps it's a redundant one but for the life of me I cannot see where to plug it in?! There are no spaces left behind the fuse box...?

Hi, does anyone have a fixed flange tow bar fitted AND rear parking sensors and does the tow bar interfere? Thanks

I’m now looking at buying a 1.6 diesel crv. I was surprised that some ads stated £30 road tax, but when I checked another it was £125 tax. Is it the case that the 4WD CRVs have higher emissions and therefore higher road tax than the 2WD ones ? Is there much difference in the way they drive on the road ?

Hi I'm new to this forum and just need some advice on what I know is a common CRV problem, the rear diiferential. My car is a 2008 petrol automatic, 92,000 miles. I've only owned the car for 7 months, it has a nearly full Honda service history. I had the car serviced at a local Honda dealer four months ago and asked them about the lumpy idling and slight graunch after I've reversed off my drive on full lock and then heard the noise just as I pull away. They said the car behaved like any other CRV and there was no issue. After looking on the internet I realised what the problem was and got a trusted local garage to change (and hopefully flush) the r…

Hi guys About to complete the purchase off a 2009 CR-V and I'm wondering if there are any tried and tested paths to replacing the head unit to get an up to date (Android Auto for example) experience? It's a minefield out there of cheap crap and misinformation so thought I'd ask the experts.

Hi all, I have a 2019 CR-V 1.5 Turbo Manual AWD. This is my third CR-V and is the best yet. The others were EX automatics and this one now has the power and driveability that the others should have had. My issue is, does any one else notice an engine overrun when changing up gears. I find this very odd and to overcome this and get a smooth gear change I find that coming off gas for a second or two and then change gear does the trick. The delay allows the revs to drop a bit and then the gear change is much smoother. Has anyone else have this or is it just me. Regards.

Hi all. I have an intermittent fault on my 2015 CRV diesel auto in that over time, the D drive light flashes for a while which sometimes makes shifting harsh and moving off pretty sluggish. It also stops reverse selecting unless i switch off and restart. Reading the codes, it says code )0974, P0977, P0980 and P0983 which are the 4 drive solenoids all going to open circuit. The odd thing is, any one of the codes can occur first then if I continue to drive, the rest of the codes will randomly show up. All this leads me to think it is a problem with the harness but I have checked all the connections on the gearbox with no apparent problems so perhaps it is at another juncti…

My CR-V went in for it's 4 year service and 3 days later I drove it, parked up did some shopping for an hour and came out and it wouldnt start. I called my breakdown company and they came out and it started straight away. The same thing happened last week, called the breakdown and they jump started it. it was fine, ran it for few hours but the next morning it wouldn't start. Charger said it was at 50% so charged to 100%, the next day it failed to start. Recharged battery, disconnected it from the car and left it overnight. Reconnected it back up and it started. Does anyone know anything about this type of problem in the 2017 CR-V iDTec please? I'm having to take i…

Hi just had a genuine Honda Towbar fitted with all wiring looms , my question is does the towbar automatically turn off the parking sensors when plugged in ?
